We divide 989958 by 46
Our goal is to divide 989958 by 46.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 46 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 98 / 46

On to step 2:
The number 46 fits into 98 2 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 92 from 98 and we're left with 6.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 69 / 46

Moving on to step 3:
46 goes into 69 1 times with a remainder of 23.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtracting 46 from 69 leaves us with 23.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 239 / 46

Advancing to step 4:
46 can be fit into 239 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 215.0
Subtracting 230 from 239 leaves us with 9.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 95 / 46

Moving on to step 5:
46 can be fit into 95 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2152.0
Subtract 92 from 95 to get 3.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 38 / 46

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 38 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 38.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21520.0
Subtract 0 from 38 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 380 by 46, we get 8 with a remainder of 12.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21520.8
If we take 368 away from 380, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
46 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 28.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21520.82
If we take 92 away from 120, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
280 divided by 46 is 6 with a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21520.826
Subtract 276 from 280 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 40 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21520.826
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 46 fits into 400 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 21520.82608
Deduct 368 from 400 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
320 divided by 46 is 6 with a remainder of 44.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21520.826086
Deduct 276 from 320 and we're left with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
440 divided by 46 is 9 with a remainder of 26.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21520.8260869
Deduct 414 from 440 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 46 fits into 260 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21520.82608695
Subtracting 230 from 260 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 21520.82608695 with a balance of 3e-08.
